Oliva Masters Blend

**cigar no baka** · 10-04-2005, 05:01 PM

I got a robusto in my pack I bought at the Oliva event I went to last month.

First, this is a small cigar, only about 4". Very tightly wrapped, I had suspicions the draw would be off but I was so wrong.

Lit very well. Burned great, until the very end when it got uneven. Very even, almost perfect draw. Smooth taste, not harsh at all; a lot of cigars disturbe my palate but not this one. Tastes I can't really define, but I liked the flavor.

Another great thing - this little baby burned for almost 45 minutes, and I'm a fast smoker - most perfectos last me 20-25 minutes max. Unfortunatley Oliva does not make this size any more, too bad. I am going to try the next larger size, $9, and see if I like it too. This is the first Oliva cigar I ahve really really liked.

One of my favorite domestic smokes - and I like the laser etched design on the cigar...
